This book, the second of two volumes, provides a comprehensive overview of the core topics within Austrian economics. With a focus on macroeconomics, it explores foundational ideas within Austrian economics, including monetary and banking theory, law, capital theory, business cycles, the relationship between the market and the state, and interventionism. These ideas are contextualized within the history of economic thought, in particular the work of Ludwig von Mises. The Keynesian system, reform to the banking system, wages, social order, fiscal policy, and the political economy of ethics are also discussed.

This book offers an accessible and engaging synthesis of Austrian economics that redefines the topic within modern economics. It will be relevant to students and researchers interested in Austrian economics and the political economy.
